      spi: core: added spi_resource management · d780c371
      Martin Sperl authored
      SPI resource management framework used while processing a spi_message
      via the spi-core.
      
      The basic idea is taken from devres, but as the allocation may happen
      fairly frequently, some provisioning (in the form of an unused spi_device
      pointer argument to spi_res_alloc) has been made so that at a later stage
      we may implement reuse objects allocated earlier avoiding the repeated
      allocation by keeping a cache of objects that we can reuse.
      
      This framework can get used for:
      * rewriting spi_messages
        * to fullfill alignment requirements of the spi_master HW
        * to fullfill transfer length requirements
          (e.g: transfers need to be less than 64k)
        * consolidate spi_messages with multiple transfers into a single transfer
        when the total transfer length is below a threshold.
      * reimplement spi_unmap_buf without explicitly needing to check if it has
        been mapped
